Julien will make one change to his lineup. Left wing Matt Beleskey will move to the second line with center David Krejci and right wing David Pastrnak. Loui Eriksson will drop to the third line and take Beleskey's vacated spot.
"He's working hard," Julien said of Beleskey. "He's being the gritty player that we asked him to be. There is no doubt that he would like to maybe produce a little bit more. It's not from a lack of trying. It's just one of those situations where his [physical play] creates room for other players; he does shoot the puck a lot and does go to the front of the net."
There will be an emphasis on simplifying play after Los Angeles had 57 shots on Tuesday.
"We play better when we play simply," Bruins center Max Talbot said.
Winnipeg makes a stop home for one game in between a just-completed 2-0-0 Central Division road trip and a four-game trip that starts Saturday against the Edmonton Oilers.
Goaltender Connor Hellebuyck will make his second start in a row for the Jets.
Jets coach Paul Maurice can sympathize with the Bruins. In the Jets' most recent home loss Feb. 5, they allowed four first-period goals in a 4-3 loss against the Carolina Hurricanes. That game sparked the Jets in their next two games, according to Maurice.
"[It was] not a major shift," Maurice said. "You don't need it to travel 100 miles to get to where you need to get to. We're just a little bit better with our focus through 60 minutes.
"Sometimes that comes from what the Boston Bruins are bringing in here. We really didn't like our Carolina game. [The players] didn't like that game. You get that focus back and you have success, so it's little easier to stay on target."
Former Bruins forward Blake Wheeler expects the same from Boston.
"We understand we're going to get their best game," Wheeler said. "It's going to be a real challenge for us."
